Does somebody have the individual race results for the 1993 EFDA Nations Cup GM/Opel Lotus races at Estoril, October 3, preferably with number of laps and times? I have two relatively poor sources (the old EFDA website, and German mag Motorsport aktuell), which happen to disagree on a number of issues, not the least of which is the identity of the winner of the second race!

Hi Michael,
 
as it happens, I have the START84 14oct93 issue with a brief report. It confirms the above results as given by Carl above, and adds:
 
race 1:
Crevels: 15th
van der Kammen: 21st
 
race 2:
Crevels: 11th
van der Kammen: 18th
 
End result:
1 Austria 28 pnts (2x6th, 2x8th)
2 Belgium 30 pnts
3 Brazil 33 pnts
4 San Marino 42 pnts
5 Sweden 47 points
9 Holland (i.e. The Netherlands) 65 points.
 
This should help you to decide on credibility of conflicting sources.
 
Strange as it is - I've never ever heard of my countryman v.d. Kammen (and from what I remember Crevels never impressed me much). Holland won the year before (with Verstappen Sr.) and after (with Tom Coronel), good memories of Dan Partel's initiative.
 
[and yes, even in the Netherlands we've had hill climbs! The Camerigerberg, not far from Aken, it was considerably longer then the Hunzerug. Sorry, that is OT.]
 
Jan.
PS: I can PM scan of the report, explaining the remarkable results. In Dutch, I'm sure you can understand:).
 
PS2: Wiki gives a link https://web.archive....com/Nations Cup with Holland 8th. , so you've uncovered there is some confusion somewhere. Possibly a disputed penalty/disqualification issue.

When I earlier wrote "relatively poor sources", I meant "relatively", because actually the old EFDA website was pretty detailed, but showing the results only as:

Netherlands (65): Crevels (15 + 11) and van der Kammen (21 + 18)
etc.

That, of course, leaves plenty of room for slip ups, and there were plenty, but most could be worked out by recalculating, or by consulting alternative sources (like Motorsport aktuell). Unfortunately, though, in 1993 MSA printed only the shortest of reports (despite the Austrian "win"), and no box score. And EFDA slipped up big time! Thanks to the results from MN (many, many thanks to Carl!! :up:), it is clear now that EFDA mixed up the individual driver's results of at least five teams, crediting Spoladore's finishes to Crinelli, for example, and Calestani's to Martini! Worse, even, the results of the Belgian team were correct for race one, but mixed up for race two - in short, a mess! Makes one wonder about the accuracy of the EFDA results for the other years... :(
